FAQs about MRp1 :

We already do a waste audit every year. Will this audit count for LEED compliance?

I don’t know what my tenants are purchasing, so how do I determine the building’s top five product categories?

Waste stream audit

We have been unable to achieve the waste stream audit credit in Hungary as waste haulage is government controlled and the waste haulers are unable (or unwilling) to provide this service. Any idea how to deal with the performance requirement for this prerequisite?

Thank you for your question Michael. A possible solution would be for the building team to weigh the trash and recycling before the haulers pick it up. A waste stream audit of ongoing consumables is required to be performed once every 5 years or by diverting 75% of ongoing waste AND achieving Materials and Resources Credit 4: Solid Waste Management - Ongoing.
